Like its predecessor, it describes the open conflicts of the Reformation from Luther's first challenge to the uneasy peace of the 1560s. Reforming movements in all the principal countries are discussed against the background of constitutional development & the political struggles of the ruling dynasties. Europe's relations w/ the outside world are given due prominence. The second edition incorporates the results of some 30 years of further research & fills some of the gaps, especially in the history of central Europe, which beset the first edition. All chapters that remain from 1958 have been revised, some very substantially, while other contributions are wholly new. ABOUT THE EDITOR: G.R.
